I'm not sure how the latest Ubuntu's unity works, but as you guessed, you open the terminal application. So....there you are at a command prompt. Now, typing kismet was a good idea, and might have opened it. Unfortunately, apparently it didn't. Many programs have some documents. Ahhh, even though this is for Ubuntu 7.04, it will probably work. http://www.twistedethics.com/2007/04/25/how-to-setup-kismet-in-ubuntu-704/ See if that's useful. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 All: We can face anything.
